I hope you'll consider joining me to fund a water project. With your gifts and your help rallying support, we can provide clean, safe and reliable water to a community in Africa.

Today, too many children suffer needlessly - walking miles for dirty water that makes them sick. You and I can change that. Please make a donation and then help me spread the word.

 

One night at bedtime as I tucked my boys into their warm beds we had a conversation about how lucky we are to have all that we have. We talked for a while about life for children in our country and outside of our country and what life was like for children all around the world. We spoke about the importance of clean water and how it means life and death for children and their families.
Can you imagine drinking water that livestock bathe in?
Can you imagine walking miles everyday as a child carrying heavy buckets of dirty water?
Can you imagine life without clean water?
We also talked about hunger and how children in our own towns may only have one meal a day. Other children must search the dirt for insects and dig through trash cans for something to fill their rumbling tummies.
Could you imagine going to bed hungry every night?
Could you imagine searching through filth for spoiled food or for insects to eat to avoid starvation?
Those are the questions my children and I asked as we talked about the need in this world. And we spoke about what we could do to make a change .
After all,... If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day.But, if you teach a man to fish...he can feed a child.
So, we decided that we can drop a tiny stone into the ocean and create little ripples in hopes of making big dreams come true. Will you join us?

How this works

Dirty water impacts health, education, women, and income. Providing a reliable and safe water source allows communities to thrive.

The Water Project provides access to safe and reliable water across sub-Saharan Africa. Together, our support can end the water crisis and restore hope, one community at a time.

The coolest part? We'll all get to see our impact! Every gift is directly linked to a specific water project and community. We'll receive updates including photos and stories, maps and more!

Lives change when communities gain access to clean water. Let's experience it together. Make a donation to my fundraising campaign today!
